How can I find the source of a registry key? To block, or allow?

[Guest]

How can I find the source of a registry key? When I get message "registry key
modification detected" using Ad-Watch SE Plus (part of Ad-Aware Plus) how can
I determine whether to block the key modification or allow it?

Common sense must be applied here. Are you doing anything that would cause a
registry change such as installing a new program, changing options within a
program, changing options for the operating system - and a host of other
things that you request as a change?

If you are just using your computer to type a letter or surf the web, and
the warning suddenly pops up - I would disallow the change, as you did
nothing to implement the change. Others may have though!
